Lyric discussion by annami 

i cant believe no one has commented on this song!

personally i believe this song talks about letting a person choose their own course through life and not interfering with any decisions they make even though they could be wrong ("let it be", "just watch me burn").

its all about people learning through their experiences and their own mistakes, a necessary process in a person's life that helps them identify who they really are: ("Now I can tell you about success, about fame, about the rise and fall of all the stars in the sky", "Now I can tell you about the place i belong", "Now I can see things for what they are really are")

in her confessions tour madonna is greatly succesful in representing the meaning of the song through the choreography, where she keeps stumbling and tripping, being pushed to the floor and getting back up, and fighting through life.

one of my absolute favourites :)

Very good explanation. Admirations!
